lMaJOr NcWSOn MAKES lnlS the
Theme of an Interesting Adj
dress.
The Deaf Mute society held its first
meeting of the day at the rooms of the
Gospel Temperance union yesterday at
1890 a. m. There was full attendance,
and an interesting address was made by
one of their number in sign language.
The usual song service of the Temper
ance union was given at 3 p. H., with
Mrs. {. BrinckerhOff, presiding at the
piano, and Mrs. James Swift as leader
in the singing. At p. III. there was a
special meeting of the White Cross
league. Rev. j. Wright, ID. d.. of st.
Paul'S Episcopal church, gave the adj
dress, which was replete with healthful
and helpful advice to young men in the
line of leading pure and upright lives,
and of ever being on the alert in pro-
tecting women from wrong and degra-
datiOn. a number signed the pledge,
and an announcement was made that
the society had Just recently secured
nicely arranged table particularly
constructed and designed especially for
White Cross literature, of which they
hope in few days to have an album
dance for peruSal and for obtaining
general information upon the great
question of social purity which has been
so much agitating the minds of the peO-
pie OF late.
A largely-attended temperance meet
ing i'll the evening was ably addressed
by Maj. L. NJ. NewsOn. who took as his
theme $50 Slow" He showed up some
of the vices of the age in remarkable
degree by his rifle-shOt word pictures,
and babe young and old take care. stop,
go slow The evils of over-eating
and the use of tobacco and strong drink
were wildly pictured and presented i'll
strong language, that in all these things
every one, especially the young, should
go very slow, as the results there
from were terrible and usually de-
Structiye to mind, soul and body.
A beautiful tribute was paid by
the speaker, to the late Rev. Robert
Smith. who so recently stood upon the
same platform he was now occupying,
and denounced in eloquent tones the
fearful and SOui-deStTOying evils that
come from the use of Intoxicating
drinks. and who ever upheld the beauti-
FIJI, true and good as found in the grand
and holy life of Him in whom he trusted
and rested. All went home delighted

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Mrs. Bertha Hegener to be Ar
raigned To-Day in the District
Court.
Mrs. Bertha Hegener will be tried to-
day for the murder Of Jack Murphy last
spring. The facts of the case are still
fresh in the minds of the people. Mrs.
Hegener is the wife of a Minneapolis
barber. Murphy was also barber and
in Hegener's employ. He was a fiashy,
dudish sort of a fellow, very fond of
Mrs. HegeneT. He circulated injurious
reports about her and lett Hegener's
shop. He then wrote a letter saying
that the reports he had circulated about
Mrs. uegener were untrue. Shortly
afterwards he went to work in St.
Paul shop and wrote another letter say
ing that the reports were true. Mrs.
Hegener armed herself and came to st.
Paul. She met Murphy at the WinOna
house and asked him to take back his
assertions. He went outside and she
followed. No one knows what was said,
but suddenly she pulled a revolver and
shot Murphy behind the ear. He was
taken to the hospital and died shortly
afterwards. Mrs. Hegener was ar
rested and has since been out on bail.
She is quite well known in Minneapolis
and highly respected by all who know
her. Public sentiment sides with her
in her act. which it was claimed was
brought on while she was in temper

wrongs done her.

is now easily reached by two street car
lines, University avenue and Mississippi
street lines running close by it. From
its elevated position its hygienic sur
rOundings are unsurpassed. 1t is stu
ated on most commanding elevation,
where pure air and perfect drainage
reign supreme. There is no hospital in
the Northwest so well situated to obtain
these most useful adjuncts as the
homeopathic hospital of st. Paul, and
under its present management
its death rate will bear close
comparison with other institutions of
its faith, and its friends and supporters
will have no cause to regret any interest
manifested for its support. 1t will re-
ceive patients of any school, and any
paying patients can have for medical
adviser any physician he or she may
choose. A hospital certificate is issued
for the term of six months or one year,
and the rates are unusually fair. Seven
dollars guarantees medical and hospital
treatment for any case except smallpox,
for the term of six Months fOOm date of
issuing the ticket, and $40 gives an all
mission at any time within one year
from date. The certificates bear the
names of eX-GOy. Marshall and Rev.
Edward C.. Mitchell as president and
secretary of the board of directors, and
such names, so well known, are suffi-
cient guarantee of the stability of the
Institution.

be called away. Just as in the natural
order the height and stature of each one
is determined, so in the supernatural
order God has determined the number
of sins we may commit. Then, when
the measure Of our iniquity is filled, God
removes from us His grace. Therefore
it behOOves us to take every Opportu-
nifty of accepting the grace of God
through the sacramentS.
The last three Sundays the church
has placed before us John the Baptist
preaching penance on the banks of the
Jordan. We should take his words to
heart and resolve to approach confess
sion during this holy time of advent. If
we do this and have q real heartfelt SOr-
row for our sins, then will be applied to
US the words: BLESSED are they whose
iniquities are forgiven Them"

A CHANCE FOR THINKERS.
A Club Formed for Playing Chess,
Checkers and Whist.

Lovers of chess, checkers and whist,
residents OF, or visitors in, st. Paul, will
no doubt be pleased to learn that there
was recently organized IN this city
club for the enter tainment of players of
these games, which, for the relative
playing strength of its members, and
elegant quarters, is not equaled by any
other clubs of the same character in
this country. excepting. perhaps, New
York, Philadelphia and New Orleans.
Realizing the necessity of firSt-claSS
club of this nature in a city of the I'M
DOrtance of st. Paul, possessing such Il
large number of strong players, several
gentlemen interested in chess and check
erS put their heads together, and the
outcome of their deliberations and
united efforts was the organization,
about two months ago. of the st. Paul
Chess. Checker and Whist club. with a
membership of about twenty. COmmO-

the Ryan hotel. which were immedi-

with the club itself. which is excellent

A HOOP TORN OFF.
The Cable Track Tears the HOOf
Of a Horse From Its Leg.

The new horseshoe, devised by Dun
can COnneil, to prevent accidents to
horses while crossing the cable line.
and as illustrated in yesterdays GLOBE,
was hailed as blessing by all owners
of horses, as it is considered an admir-
able safeguard from torn hoOfS and
broken legs resulting from an ordinary
shoe catching in the cable slot. The
matter attracted widespread attention,
and last evening Charles Terrier, a black
smith corner of Tenth and Pine streets.
came TO the GLOBE Office with another
invention. which it is claimed is even
better than Mr.. Connell'S. The beauty
of his invention lies entirely in the

Mr.. Councils Shoe is undoubtedly a

Tic pressing need of these shoes is
demonstrated every day, and even yes
terday poor animal had his hoof torn
clear off, at the corner of Wabasha and
Fourth streets. A large number of
horses have been ruined and the num-
Der will daily increase until these shoes,
or some safeguard of this sort, are on
every horse in st. Paul.
